What exactly do you want to depend on? The rules normally are:
(a) use USE_TOOLS if possible

From documentation I didn't understand what kind of software
can be mentioned in USE_TOOLS?
autoconf, gmake? Fine.
What about
USE_TOOLS += I_am_the_only_person_who_knows_about_this_rarely_used_tool?
I.e. how many tools (and what exactly) can be mentioned in USE_TOOLS?

It's undocumented, but pkglint constructs the list while checking a package. Run "pkglint -vv | grep tools" in some package directory.
